in fact, my bus was emptier. despite there being about 60 people at the bus stop, only about 10 got on the bus. i assume the rest were confused displaced tube users who knew which bus to get on specifically and didn't want to risk getting on another one.

From Whitechapel to Holborn - courtesy of traffic that dang blast it just wouldn't move.

The bus driver's reign of terror was hilarious though. Motto: "ONLY ONE ON AT THIS DOOR!". Also good: "YOU, GET OFF THE BUS! DO IT! DO IT NOW!" to a girl whose age I would estimate as somewhere between 12 and 14.
